This might be a bug(?). You should be able to send a list to noteout but it seems the channel info breaks the functionality. If you unpack the message it works fine… weird. And just to be totally confusing you can send it pitch/velocity as a pair and set the channel separately and it works…

Looks like a timing problem. The channel info needed from noteout to calculate the status byte (144 etc.) probably arrives too late relative to the first inlet. But in my opinion the "distribution rule" is questionable anyway.

Roald, I never saw an email from you in Support regarding your original posting, perhaps it lost the battle with a spam filter on one of our sides? Regardless, apologies for the delay.

The issue here is a little more complex and general as it relates to what happens with things being sent out an outlet ‘anything’ and sending that to an inlet that expects a list. We will take a closer look.

In the meantime, sending it through a [t l] or something similar should work.

Regarding the ‘distribution rule’, I wouldn’t count on it unless the object explicitly states that it does this.
